Apamea is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae first described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.[1]

Some Apamea species are pest insects. The larval Apamea niveivenosa is a cutworm known as a pest of grain crops in North America.[2] The larva of A. apamiformis is the rice worm, the most serious insect pest of cultivated wild rice in the Upper Midwest of the United States.[3]
